Prosperous Thinkingby Alan Joel

To create true, lasting prosperity, almost any guru can tell you that you must align your physical, mental and emotional states and actions. This all sounds very logical, but when it comes right down to it, most of us are not quite certain how to proceed. We know we mentally worry about money and all the other "nitty-gritty" of life, but we don't know how to stop worrying. We know that we are not emotionally well-equipped to handle the financial ups and downs of life, but we don't have a clue how to change the situation. Mostly, we just know how to work harder and faster.

In attempting to become more prosperous, most of us have taken on more jobs or worked longer hours. But is that the best way to go about things? The results we've gotten would indicate that the answer is "no." So how can we achieve and attain lasting prosperity? We must evolve in every area of life - mental, emotional and physical. Here are three steps to get you started:

MENTAL: Write down what you want. Most of us are so busy looking at what we don't want - extra bills, car repairs, unanticipated fees - that we don't even remember what we want. Take a little time for yourself and figure out what you want, and then write it down. If you don't write it down, it doesn't count. Writing your desires on paper commits them to the physical world and makes them more real. Post your desires where you can see them - all the time!

EMOTIONAL: The way we feel about our lives has a huge impact on our prosperity. Getting our emotions in line with our desires can be the key difference between total success and utter failure. One of the best teachers of emotional alignment is Abraham-Hicks. Get a free CD of their teachings at: https://www.abraham-hicks.com/freeoffer.html.

PHYSICAL:
Rather than working harder, think about how you can leverage the resources that are already in your environment to create prosperity. For instance, if you have a product or service to sell, rather than going to the trouble of putting up your own website and investing a lot of money in overhead, you might see if you can go into partnership with people who already have websites.
